Subject: IS THE BIBLE GODS WORD? FIFTY
THOUSAND ERRORS
FIFTY
THOUSAND ERRORS (?)
The Jehovah's Witnesses in their
"AWAKE!" Magazine dated 8 September, 1957, carried this startling headline
"50000 ERRORS IN THE BIBLE?" (See below for the reproduction).
While I was still formulating the theme of
this booklet, I heard a knock at my door one Sunday morning. I opened the door.
A European gentleman stood there, grinning broadly. "Good morning'" he said.
"Good morning" I replied. He was offering me his "Awake" and
"Watchtower" magazines. Yes, a Jehovah's Witness! If a few had knocked at
your door previously, you will recognize them immediately. The most supercilious
lot of people who ever knocked at people's doors! I invited him in.
As soon as he settled down, I
produced the full reproduction of what you see below. Pointing to the monograph
at the top of the
page, I asked, "Is this your's?" He readily recognised his own. I said, "It
says: 50 000 Errors in the Bible, is it true?" "What's that!" he exclaimed. I
repeated, "I said, that it says, that there are 50 000 errors in your Bible."
"Where did you get that?" He asked. (This was published 23 years ago, when he
was perhaps a little nipper) I said, "Leave the fancy talk aside is this
your's?" pointing again to the monograph "Awake!" He said, "Can I have
a look?" "Of course," I said. I handed him the page. He started perusing. They
(the Jehovah's Witnesses) are trained. They attend classes five times a week in
their "Kingdom Halls." Naturally, they are the fittest missionaries among the
thousand -and - one - sects - and - denominations of Christendom. They are
taught that when cornered, do not commit yourself to anything, do not open your
mouths. Wait for the Holy Ghost to inspire you with what to say. 
I silently kept watching him, while he browsed
the page. Suddenly he looked up. He had found it. The "Holy Ghost" had tickled
him. He began, "The article says that "most of those errors have been
eliminated." I asked "If MOST are eliminated, how many remain out of
50000? 5000? 500? 50? Even if 50 remain, do you attribute those errors to God?"
He was speechless. He excused himself by suggesting that he will come again with
some senior member of his Church. That will be the day!
If I had this booklet ready, I would have
offered him, saying "I would like to do you a favour, give me your name and
address, and your telephone number. I will lend you this booklet IS
THE BIBLE GOD'S WORD?" for 90 days. I want a written reply!" If you do this,
And a few other Muslims do the same. They and the other missionaries will never
darken your doors again. I believe that this publication will prove the most
effective talisman to date. Insha-Allah!
This "cult" of Jehovah's Witnesses which is so
strong in its condemnation of the orthodox Trinitarians, for playing with the
"Word of God," is itself playing the same game of semantic gymnastics. In the
article under review "50000 ERRORS IN THE BIBLE?" they say:
"there are probably 50 000 errors . . . errors that have crept
into the Bible text . . . 50000 such serious (?) errors
most of
those so-called errors... as a whole the Bible is accurate." (?)
We do not have the time and space to go into
the tens of thousands of grave or minor defects that the authors of the
Revised Standard Version (RSV) have attempted to revise. We leave that privilege
to the Christian scholars of the Bible. Here I will endeavour to cast just a
cursory glance at a "half-a-dozen" or so of those "minor" changes.
1. "Therefore the Lord himself shall give
you a sign: Behold, a VIRGIN shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his
name Immanuel."
(Isaiah 7:14 - AV)
The indispensable "VIRGIN" in the above verse
has now been replaced in the RSV with the phrase "a young woman," which
is the correct translation of the Hebrew word almah. Almah is the word
which has occurred all along in the Hebrew text and NOT bethulah which
means VIRGIN. This correction is only to be found in the English language
translation, as the RSV is only published in this tongue. For the African and
the Afrikaner, the Arab and the Zulu, in fact, in the 1 500 other languages of
the world, Christians are made to continue to swallow the misnomer "VIRGIN."
BEGOTTEN, NOT MADE
"Jesus is the only begotten son of God,
begotten not made," is an adjunct of the orthodox catechism, leaning
for support on the following:
2. For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only BEGOTTEN son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life."
(John 3:16 - AV)
No priest worth his cloth would fail to
quote "the only BEGOTTEN of the Father!" when preaching to a prospective
convert. But this fabrication "BEGOTTEN" has now been unceremoniously
excised by the Bible Revisers, without a word of excuse. They are as silent as
church-mice and would not draw the reader's attention to their furtive excision.
This blasphemous word "BEGOTTEN" was another of the many such interpolations in
the "Holy Bible." God Almighty condemned this blasphemy in the strongest terms
soon after its innovation. He did not wait for 2000 years for Bible scholars to
reveal the fraud.
The Muslim World should congratulate the
"Fifty cooperating denominations" of Christendom and their Brains Trust
the "Thirty-two scholars of the highest eminence" for bringing their Holy
Bible a degree nearer to the Qur-anic truth.
"CHRISTIAN
MES-A-MATHICS"
3. "For there are three that bear record
in heaven, the FATHER,
the WORD, and the HOLY GHOST: and these three
are one."
1st Epistle of John 5:7 -
AV
This verse is the closest approximation to
what the Christians call their Holy Trinity in the encyclopaedia called
the BIBLE. This key-stone of the Christian faith has also been scrapped from the
RSV without even a semblance of explanation. It has been a pious fraud all along
and well-deservedly has it been expunged in the RSV for the English-speaking
people. But for the 1499 remaining language groups of the world who read the
Christian concoctions in their mother tongues, the fraud remains. These people
will never know the truth until the Day of Judgement. However, we Muslims must
again congratulate the galaxy of D.D.s who have been honest enough to eliminate
another lie from the English (RSV) Bible, thus bringing their Holy Book yet
another step closer to the teachings of Islam. For the Holy Qur'an says:
* Not one in a trinity. Not one in a trinity.
THE ASCENSION
One of the most serious of those "grave
defects" which the authors of the RSV had tried to rectify concerned the
Ascension of Christ. There have been only two references in the Canonical
Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and of John to the most stupendous event in
Christianity OF JESUS BEING TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN. These two references were
obtained in every Bible in every language, prior to 1952, when the RSV first
appeared. These were:
4a. "So then the Lord Jesus, after he had
spoken to them, was TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN, and sat down at the right hand of
God."
(Mark 16:19)
4b. "While he blessed them, he parted from
them, and was CARRIED UP INTO HEAVEN."
(Luke 24:51)
Now please look at the image below, which is a
photo copy where the quotation 4a above ought to appear. You will be shocked to
note that Mark 16 ends at verse 8, and after an embarrassing expanse of
blank space the missing verses appear in "small print" as a footnote at the
bottom of the page. If you can lay your hands on a RSV 1952, you will
find the last six words of 4b above, i.e. "AND WAS CARRIED UP INTO
HEAVEN" replaced by a tiny "a" to tell you to see the footnote if you
please, where you will find these missing words. Every honest Christian has to
admit that he does not consider any footnote in any Bible as the word of God.
Why should the paid servants of Christianity consign the mightiest miracle of
their religion to a mere footnote?
From the Chart "The Origin and Growth of
the English Bible" appearing below, you will note that all the Biblical
"Versions" prior to the Revised Version of 1881 were dependent upon the ANCIENT
COPIES those dating only five or six hundred years after Jesus. The Revisers
of the RSV 1952, were the first Bible scholars who were able to tap the "MOST
Ancient Copies" fully, dating three and four centuries after Christ. We
agree that the closer to the source the more authentic is the document.
Naturally "MOST" Ancient deserves credence more than mere "ANCIENT." But not
finding a word about Jesus being "taken up" or "carried up" into
heaven in the MOST ANCIENT manuscripts, the Christian fathers expurgated those
references from the RSV 1952.
THE DONKEY CIRCUS
The above facts are a staggering confession by
Christendom that the "inspired" authors of the Canonical Gospels did not
record a single word about the ASCENSION of Jesus- Yet these "inspired"
authors were unanimous in recording that their Lord and Saviour rode a donkey
into Jerusalem as his mission drew to a close.
| ". . . and they sat him thereon." (The Donkey)
(Matt. 21:7) |
". . . and he sat upon him."
(The Donkey)
(Mark 11:7) |
| ". . . and they set Jesus
Thereon."
(The Donkey)
(Luke 19:35) |
".
. . Jesus ... sat thereon:" (The Donkey)
(John
12:14) |
Could God Almighty have been the author of
this incongruous situation going out of His Way to see that all the Gospel
writers did not miss their footing recording of His "son's" donkey-ride into the
Holy City and yet "inspiring" them to black-out the news about His "son's"
heavenly flight on the wings of angels?
NOT FOR LONG!
The hot-gospellers and the
Bible-thumpers were too slow in catching the Joke. By the time they realised
that the corner-stone of their preaching THE ASCENSION OF JESUS had been
undermined as a result of Christian Biblical erudition, the publishers of the
RSV had already raked in a net profit of 15 000 000 dollars! (Fifteen Million).
The propagandists made a big hue and cry, and with the backing of two
denominational committees out of the fifty, forced the Publishers to
re-incorporate the interpolations into the "INSPIRED" Word of God in every new
publication of the RSV after 1952, the expunged portion was "RESTORED TO THE
TEXT."
It is an old, old game. The Jews and the
Christians have been editing their "Book of God" from its very inception. The
difference between them and the ancient forgerers is that the ancient forgers
did not know the art of writing "prefaces" and "footnotes", otherwise they too
would have told us as clearly as our modern heroes have about their tampering,
and their glib excuses for transmuting forged currency into glittering gold.
"MANY PROPOSALS FOR MODIFICATION WERE
SUBMITTED TO THE COMMITTEE BY INDIVIDUALS AND BY TWO DENOMINATIONAL COMMITTEES
ALL OF THESE WERE GIVEN CAREFUL ATTENTION BY THE COMMITTEE.
"TWO PASSAGES, THE I LONGER ENDING OF MARK
(16:9-20) . . . AND LUKE 24:51 ARE RESTORED TO THE TEXT."
(Preface
Collins' pages vi and vii)
"Why 'restored'"? Because they
had been previously expunged! Why had the references to the Ascension expunged
in the first place? The MOST Ancient manuscripts had no references to the
Ascension at all. They were interpolations similar to 1 John 5:7 about the Trinity. (Refer to the earlier example
3). Why eliminate one and re-instate the other? Do not be surprised! By the time
you lay your hands on a RSV, the "Committee" might also have decided to expunge
the whole of their invaluable Preface. The Jehovah's Witnesses have already
eliminated 27 revealing pages of their FOREWORD to their "New World
Translation of the CHRISTIAN GREEK SCRIPTURES," (this is their way of saying
New Testament).
ALLAH IN THE CHRISTIAN
BIBLE
The Rev. C. I. Scofield, D. D. with a
team of 8 Consulting Editors, also all D.D.s in the "Scofield Reference
Bible" thought it appropriate to spell the Hebrew word "Elah"
(meaning God) alternatively as "Alah" The Christians had thus
swallowed the camel they seemed to have accepted at last that the name of God
is Allah but were still straining at the gnat by spelling Allah with one "L"!
(Photographic reproduction of the Bible page showing the word "ALAH" is
preserved here for posterity below). References were made in public lectures to
this fact by the author of this booklet. Believe me, the subsequent "Scofield
Reference Bible" has retained word for word the whole commentary of Genesis
1:1, but has, by a clever sleight-of-hand, blotted out the word "Alah"
altogether. There is not even a gap where the word "Alah" once used to
be.
1 This is in the Bible of
the orthodox! One is hard pressed to keep up with their Jugglery.
1. See "WHAT IS HIS NAME" for more
information on this Biblical omission of the word Allah. Under the section of
"Now you see it, now you dont".
